The fully-lit
version of the Christmas moment arrives in a flourish of both light AND color, even better than anticipated —
♫ He will bring us goodness and light ♫. The most natural response is sharing the
abundance of all things — our
Merry Christmas-ing is a glimpse of all that truly is, as we increasingly become
aware of it.
Make ready for the Christ, Whose smile, like lightning,Sets free the song of everlasting glory
That now sleeps, in your paper flesh, like dynamite.
— Thomas Merton, “The Victory”
